Republic of the Philippines

City of San Juan, Metro Manila

Dambana ng Pinaglabanan

DAMBANA NG PINAGLABANAN (“war arena memorial”), was built to commemorate the first ever battle in the 1896 revolution of the Filipino people against more than 300 years of Spanish colonization. This was the site of what was then known as “El Deposito”, the underground water reservoir built during the Spanish times to supply water to Manila.
